A proposed space station includes living quarters in a circular ring 64.0 m in diameter. At what angular speed should the ring rotate so the occupants feel that they have the same weight as they do on Earth?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]w=0.5534rad/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter d=64.0 m

To find

Angular velocity ω

Solution

From Centripetal acceleration we know that

[tex]a=g=\frac{v^{2} }{R}[/tex]

As we know that angular velocity ω as

[tex]w=v/R\\v=wR[/tex]

So

[tex]g=\frac{v^{2} }{R}\\g=\frac{(wR)^{2} }{R}\\ g=\frac{w^{2}R^{2} }{R}\\g=w^{2}R\\w^{2}=\frac{g}{diameter/2}\\w^{2}=\frac{9.8m/s^{2}}{(64/2)m}\\w^{2}=0.30625\\w=\sqrt{0.30625}\\ w=0.5534rad/s[/tex]
